Gueye closed with 16 points (6-6 FG, 4-4 3Pt), 10 rebounds, two assists and three blocks over 26 minutes during Saturday's 126-110 victory over Golden State.

Gueye made his sixth start of the season Saturday (and first since Jan. 31) due to the absence of Jalen Johnson (shoulder). The former took advantage of the opportunity, leading the Hawks in rebounds en route to his third double-double of the season. Gueye should remain in Atlanta's starting lineup if Johnson is not cleared to play against Memphis on Monday.

Burton became a free agent Sunday after his 10-day deal with the Grizzlies expired, Keith Smith of Spotrac.com reports.

After signing with the team via a hardship exception March 12, Burton was a regular member of the rotation for the Grizzlies' ensuing six games. He appeared in every contest and averaged 8.8 points, 4.3 rebounds, 1.7 three-pointers, 0.8 assists, 0.8 steals and 0.3 blocks in 25.2 minutes while shooting 30.6 percent from the field and 31.3 percent from downtown. In order for the 26-year-old forward to return to the Grizzlies on a second 10-day deal, the NBA would need to deem the team worthy of another temporary roster spot due to its injury situation.

Gill posted 13 points (6-9 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-1 FT), five rebounds, one assist and two steals in 26 minutes off the bench during Saturday's 132-111 loss to the Thunder.

The 13 points tied his season high, a mark he reached Feb. 19 against the Pacers. Gill hadn't topped six points in any of his prior six games, however, and the 33-year-old forward's role and usage in the Wizards' rotation isn't likely to become more consistent any time soon. Through nine games (one start) in March, Gill is averaging just 5.6 points, 3.4 boards, 1.6 assists and 1.3 combined steals and blocks in 22.3 minutes.

Carrington accumulated 19 points (7-12 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 1-3 FT), three rebounds and three assists over 33 minutes during Saturday's 132-111 loss to the Thunder.

Making his third straight start, Carrington had another strong performance from beyond the arc. With Trae Young (quadriceps/back) looking like he might be done for the season, Carrington's spot in the starting five seems secure, and during his current three-start run he's averaging 19.7 points, 4.3 boards, 3.7 threes and 3.0 assists while shooting 59.0 percent from the floor and 52.4 percent (11-for-21) from beyond the arc.

Coulibaly produced 21 points (8-15 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, four assists, two blocks and one steal across 34 minutes during Saturday's 132-111 loss to the Thunder.

The 21 points led the Wizards, as Coulibaly made his return from a two-game absence due to a heel issue. The third-year forward has topped 20 points in four of nine March appearances, averaging 16.0 points, 4.6 boards, 3.0 assists, 2.2 threes, 1.0 steals and 0.8 blocks on the month.

McCain closed with 18 points (6-15 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 2-3 FT), three rebounds, one assist and one block over 28 minutes off the bench during Saturday's 132-111 win over Washington.

It's the third time in the last four games that McCain has delivered at least 15 points, The second-year guard has been a fairly consistent threat from long distance in March, draining at least three three-pointers in six of the last nine games while averaging 12.8 points, 2.9 threes, 1.8 boards and 0.8 assists in 19.1 minutes and shooting 44.8 percent from beyond the arc.

Holmgren accumulated 18 points (6-9 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 6-6 FT), 10 rebounds and two blocks in 27 minutes during Saturday's 132-111 victory over the Wizards.

The double-double was Holmgren's second in five games since returning from an illness that cost him two contests in early March, and his 22nd of the season -- one shy of the career high he set as a rookie in 2023-24. Over 12 appearances since the All-Star break, the 23-year-old big is averaging 16.4 points, 10.2 boards, 1.8 assists, 1.5 blocks, 1.1 threes and 0.8 steals while shooting 52.7 percent from the floor.

The Lakers filed an appeal on Doncic's behalf to rescind the 16th technical foul of the season that the point guard was assessed during Saturday's 105-104 win over the Magic, Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com reports.

Doncic and the Magic's Goga Bitadze both drew technicals with 1:19 remaining in the third quarter, when the two players exchanged words while Doncic was shooting a free throw. The league is expected to further review the incident in question, but unless the technical is rescinded, Doncic will serve a one-game suspension during Monday's contest in Detroit. In the event of a Doncic absence, Austin Reaves would likely slide over to the point guard spot, while players such as Rui Hachimura, Jake LaRavia and Luke Kennard could all be called upon to handle larger roles.

The Kings list Stevens out for Sunday's game against the Nets due to right ankle soreness.

The two-way player hasn't made an appearance for Sacramento since the All-Star break, so he presumably sustained the injury during his most recent game in the G League with the Stockton Kings on Saturday. Over his three appearances at the NBA level on the season, Stevens is averaging 3.3 points, 3.3 assists, 1.7 steals and 1.0 rebounds in 14.3 minutes.

Prince contributed eight points (3-8 FG, 2-6 3Pt), two rebounds and one assist over 22 minutes during Saturday's 108-105 victory over the Suns.

Prince was given the starting nod for just the second time this season, highlighting just how desperate things are in Milwaukee at the moment. Having played seven games since returning from injury, Prince has offered very little on paper. In 18.3 minutes per game during that time, he has averaged just 6.1 points and 1.6 three-pointers.
